The location principle of centroid localization is as follows: the unknown node sends broadcast messages to the network for determining its location information; after anchor nodes received broadcast messages, they sent response of information of its own location to the unknown node; the center of mass in this graphic is regarded as the estimation coordinate of the unknown node [17, 18], which is formed by anchor nodes.

It is a concrete application of centroid localization method; the location principle is as follows: there are any three anchor nodes that composed one triangle; there is a collection formed by all triangles which included the unknown node; the coordinate of the unknown node is determined by determining the center of mass of graphic which is composed of all triangles of the collection.
